Partial Closure of Hargett Street for Raleigh City Hall Construction Extended

The previously scheduled reopening of the westbound lane on Hargett Street has been extended, and the lane will now remain closed from January 1 to June 30, 2026. The extension is required to maintain the buck hoist used for material delivery to the new City Hall and to complete exterior streetscape improvements.

What to Expect:

• Businesses Remain Open – All businesses in the area will stay open and accessible.
• Sidewalk Access – Pedestrian sidewalks on the south side of Hargett Street and in front of the Raleigh Municipal Building will remain open.
• Cyclist Detours – Bicyclists should follow posted detour signs for alternative routes.
• Bus Stop Relocation – The bus stop in front of the Raleigh Municipal Building will move to W Martin Street near Dawson Street.
• Traffic Detour – Westbound traffic on Hargett Street will be rerouted:
  • Right onto McDowell Street
  • Left onto Hillsborough Street
  • Left onto Dawson Street before rejoining Hargett Street

We appreciate your patience as we build a modern and accessible City Hall for Raleigh.
